Originally posted by stokerI ordered 3 books from Amazon maybe 3 years ago now, a couple of weeks later and the books hadn't arrived yet so i sent an email to ask wtf. They sent out a new package within a couple of days and it wasn't long before they arrived. I can't remember exactly how long but maybe 2 weeks after that the original package turns up. No idea what happened to it but now i had 6 books for the price of three, put the 3 spare books on ebay and got back about 70% of the price of the books. Not a bad thing to say about Amazon or ebay.

Na! It's called using fallable systems and takes away from the fat cat at the top. 😛

With EBay it's definitely let the buyer beware.

Originally posted by stokerAmazon are patent frauds whose shenanigans in the One-Click affair have done great damage to the original spirit of the internet. They are by a country mile the greatest culprits in turning it into the festering commercial cess-pit it is now, when it should have been a haven for intellectual freedom.

Ebay may be bad, but I will forever curse Amazon and all its directors for destroying what was once a beautiful thing.

Originally posted by catnap642You do know that it was the company Amazon i bought the books off, not someone selling them second hand? They were 3 new books sent by a cooperation who ended up giving me 6 books because their first package took a month or two to arrive.
.... and you'd be the first one on here complaining if the shoe was on the other foot!!!!!
Tell me now "the shoe could be on the other foot" unless i owned a multi million dollar cooperation? But if that was the case, i really wouldn't be worrying about a few extra books sent out totaling about £50. Would I?
